In this episode, we’re sitting down with previous The Buena Vida Retreat Guest, Kiana McCourt. Kiana leads an eclectic life and is a self-proclaimed “free-flowing spirit” who has developed a deep intimacy with the deep facets of life since her Buena Vida experience.  We’re going to dive into how different the ceremonial approach was for Kiana’s experience, how her setting intentions beforehand were so helpful and how the group dynamic was the most surprisingly positive part of her experience with The Buena Vida Retreats. 
(This episode was recorded in May of 2020, but Kiana’s story was so powerful and her insight so relevant that we had to share.)

36:15 - Amplifying your vibration to an intense positive flow state
